  • Assessing the Value of Mounted Police Units in the UK
    Making and Breaking Barriers Assessing the value of mounted police units in the UK Chris Giacomantonio, Ben Bradford, Matthew Davies and Richard Martin For more information on this publication, visit www.rand.org/t/rr830 While the use of mounted police (i.e. police horses and riders) can be traced back to before the advent of the modern police service in 1829, very little is known about the actual work of mounted police from either academic or practitioner standpoints. Police horses are thought to have unique operational and symbolic value, particularly in public order policing (making barriers) and community engagement (breaking barriers) Published by the RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, Calif., and Cambridge, UK deployments. They may represent a calming presence or, and potentially at the same time, an imposing threat of force. Yet, the relationship between the use of police horses and broader notions of policing by consent in the UK is presently unknown, and all R® is a registered trademark. evidence for these claims is anecdotal at best. In recent years, mounted units have come under resource scrutiny in the UK due to austerity measures. Some forces have eliminated their mounted capacities altogether, while others have developed collaborative or mutual assistance arrangements with © Copyright 2015 RAND Corporation and University of Oxford neighbouring forces. The relative costs and benefits of the available options – maintaining units, merging and centralising mounted resources or eliminating them in whole or part – cannot at present be assessed confidently by individual forces or by national coordinating agencies such as the Home Office, the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) and the National Police Coordination Centre (NPoCC).

Recommendations 1.1 The Committee agrees the terms of reference for the parks in London scrutiny. 2. Background 2.1 At it’s meeting on 11 February 2004, the Culture Sport and Tourism Committee formally agreed to co-host a reception on 16 March 2004 with the Heritage Lottery Fund. The Committee also agreed to consider examining the management and funding of Royal Parks in London at its meeting on 21 April 2004. 2.2 Members requested more information and terms of reference for the scrutiny. 3. Issues for Consideration 3.1 The Royal Parks Agency (RPA) is an executive agency of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. It manages 8 parks in London – St James Park, Green Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park, Regent’s Park, Bushy Park. Royal Parks also manages Brompton Cemetery, Downing Street residences and Grosvenor Square Gardens. 3.2 The Department of Culture Media and Sport allocates approximately £24m per annum to the RPA.1 In its most recent annual report, RPA noted that ‘our grant from DCMS is declining in real terms, year on year.’2 RPA is required by Government to increase self-generated income by £1.1m to £7 million from all sources by 2005/6. 3.3 The 5,000 hectares of Royal Parks are used by millions of Londoners for informal recreation – horse riding, golf, football, fishing and running. They play host to many large cultural events in London – outdoor classical and rock concerts, art exhibitions, theatre - and are home to significant London landmarks (for example, the London Zoo, the National Maritime Museum, Serpentine Galley).
